Bondi Band Giveaway! CLOSED

24 Days To Go

Okay, so just because I am a preggo mess who is feeling like muck, my running is suffering, and I have come to the realization that my time for the half-marathon in 24 days is going to be very poor doesn't mean I can't share my love for some of my favorite running gear that I have found myself attached to through this journey, right?

Yeah, that's what I thought...and that's where Bondi Bands come in. If you don't already know about these run-changing hair accessories , you're missing out! I used to suffer from the headbands that slowly crept further and further back on my head while running until they popped right off somewhere along my path and became a casualty of my training. I used to suffer from sweat beads trickling in my eyes, burning and leaving me for near blind as each pound of the pavement. I used to suffer from the ever-growing pressure headaches that crept up when I wore a headband any longer than twenty minutes causing me to rip off my headband in a dramatic, but necessary, attempt to avoid an all-out migraine (and can you imagine, me dramatic?).

Notice I said "used to?" That's because I was introduced by a fellow runner to Bondi Bands. After I wore a Bondi Band for the first time, I knew I was hooked. These "no slip, no drip" touting bands come in tons of great patterns, colors, and solids. Some even have great little messages on them. I shared on of my favorites (pictured above) earlier on the blog when I wore it in a 5K I ran this past summer. The sweat wicking material is the same that you would look for in any of your running apparel so it made perfect sense to make it an essential material for my hair wear too. Genius. Besides the functionality appeal, I am a sucker for fashion and their colorful styles and patterns can jazz up any mundane running outfit. Another incentive to get out there and run...I'll take it!

And now you can take it too. The smart-minded folks at Bondi Band are going to give one of you two headbands of your choice from their website!

I LOVE the 'Cancer. Had it. Fought it. Beat it.' Bondi Band. In the last 6 months since my diagnosis, I have kept running through it all.I just signed up for my first half marathon to be run at the one year anniversary of my surviving cancer!!! I have loved following your blog and can't wait to keep up with your new one! Good luck with your half!

I borrowed one from a friend awhile back and have been eager to get one of my own! I love the solid teal band, but those new ones with glow in the dark are cool too! (email is: abbatabba1137*at*yahoo*dot*com)

Looks like an awesome product that I'd love to try. Just ran my first half-marathon on Saturday. I know you can do this! I like the Run Like a Mother one, too! Actually, I like a lot of them. And how cute are the pigtail hats?
